September 28: Athens, GAGeorgia vs. LSU -- Contenders (Notre Dame hosts Oklahoma, Alabama hosts Ole Miss, Oregon hosts Cal) Georgia plays Clemson and South Carolina to start the season. LSU opens against TCU. If both teams are undefeated, College GameDay should be in Athens. However, keep an eye on Ole Miss because if the Rebels defeat Vanderbilt on ESPN's Thursday night season-opener and win at Texas a couple of weeks later, then the Alabama-Ole Miss game will be hyped. The Rebels surprised many by the way they performed last season in Tuscaloosa. South Bend is also a possibility. The Irish probably have to defeat Michigan and Michigan State before College Gameday could choose South Bend.
